Not in starting lineup Tuesday Baty is not in the Mets' lineup Tuesday against the Dodgers.
Impact Eduardo Escobar will start at third base and bat eighth versus left-hander Clayton Kershaw. Baty is a big-time talent but has struggled against left-handed pitching as a professional. He should start against most -- or all? -- right-handed opponents.

Plates run in 2023 debut Baty went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's 8-6 win against the Dodgers.
Impact Baty was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and was immediately placed in the starting lineup, playing third base and batting eighth. The 23-year-old grounded out in his first at-bat before coming through with a two-out, run-scoring single in the fourth inning. Baty looks to be in line for the lion's share of playing time at the hot corner for New York moving forward, as Eduardo Escobar is batting just .125 on the campaign.

Officially recalled from Triple-A The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Impact As previously announced, Baty is officially recalled from Triple-A after scorching pitching in the International League to a 1.386 OPS. The Mets have placed Tim Locastro (back spasms) on the injured list in a corresponding move. Baty might sit occasionally against left-handed pitching, but he should see the majority of playing time at the hot corner to begin his promotion.

APRIL 16, 2023 • KANSASCITY.COM
Being called up from Triple-A Baty is being recalled from Triple-A Syracuse by the Mets on Sunday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
Impact Baty is one of the top hitting prospects in baseball and has scorched Triple-A pitching to the tune of a 1.386 OPS along with five homers in nine games in the International League. The 23-year-old won't be in the lineup for Sunday's finale against the Athletics but should see regular playing time going forward. His offensive upside makes him well worth an addition in the overwhelming majority of fantasy formats.

Making case for promotion Baty could replace Eduardo Escobar as the Mets' starting third baseman very soon if the veteran doesn't emerge from his early-season slump, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Impact After nearly winning a spot on the big-league roster this spring, Baty has kept the pressure on by going 12-for-31 (.387) to begin the year with four homers, 10 RBI and a 6:9 BB:K through eight games with Triple-A Syracuse. Escobar, meanwhile, is batting .103 (4-for-39) with a 2:11 BB:K and an average exit velocity in the fifth percentile. The Mets will give Escobar a little more time to turn things around at the plate, but if he doesn't begin producing soon, Baty is likely to get his chance.

Mets Top Prospect Brett Baty Day-to-Day with Thumb Inflammation Baty, who left Triple-A Syracuse’s game on Tuesday with thumb soreness, went for an MRI that revealed no structural damage.
APRIL 5, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Expected back in AAA lineup Friday Baty (thumb) is expected to return to Triple-A Syracuse's lineup Friday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.
Impact Baty injured his right thumb on Tuesday, but all tests came back negative and he's considered day-to-day. The top prospect is off to a .400/.471/.867 start with two homers and two steals in his first four games with Syracuse this season. That, combined with Eduardo Escobar's slow start, could mean a quick promotion for Baty if he keeps it up.

MRI reveals no structural damage Baty is day-to-day with right thumb inflammation after an MRI revealed no structural damage, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Baty left Tuesday's game for Triple-A Syracuse after injuring the thumb, and it was a concern for all involved that it was the same thumb that required surgery for a torn ligament back in September. The 23-year-old top prospect will likely sit for a day or two while recovering, but it does appear he's mercifully avoided a serious injury.

APRIL 4, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
To have scans on right thumb Baty is scheduled to undergo imaging tests Wednesday after injuring his right thumb in a game Tuesday at Triple-A Syracuse, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
Impact It's ominous news given that the 23-year-old top prospect required surgery for a torn ligament in that same thumb last September. This latest issue is being called right thumb soreness for now, but the imaging scans will paint a fuller picture. Baty was challenging for starting third base duties this spring in Mets camp before Eduardo Escobar ultimately claimed the gig.
